This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b5, h6, h11.The complaint device was evaluated, and the reported event was not confirmed.The stem was returned for evaluation, and images were provided.The returned stem appears unremarkable for an explanted component.There appears to be residual bone attached to the device as well as scratching consistent with tool damage created during removal.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.The reason for the intraoperative bone fracture reported cannot be conclusively determined but may be related to a patient condition or high forces during retraction.However, this cannot be confirmed based on the information provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
